A system for image alignment includes an alignment mechanism (132) configured to permit user alignment of images. A first imaging modality (110) is configured to concurrently provide images in two imaging planes using an imaging mechanism (134) associated with the alignment mechanism (132). An image processing module (126) is configured to display first images collected with the first imaging modality and second images collected with a second imaging modality (130) to permit user alignment using the alignment mechanism between the first images and the second images in multiple planes. A registration module (115) is stored in memory and configured to register the first images with corresponding second images in the multiple planes when alignment in the multiple planes has been achieved. 种用于图像对齐的系统包括对齐机构(132)，所述对齐机构被配置为允许对图像的用户对齐。第图像模态(110)被配置为使用与所述对齐机构(132)相关联的成像机构(134)同时地提供两个成像平面中的图像。图像处理模块(126)被配置为显示利用所述第成像模态收集的第图像和利用第二成像模态(130)收集的第二图像，以允许在多个平面中的所述第图像与所述第二图像之间使用所述对齐机构的用户对齐。配准模块(115)被存储在存储器中并且被配置为在已经实现所述多个平面中
